Is Dw_1.SaveNativePDFtoBlob( ) a "smoke and mirrors" DEV short cut convenience function Or is it all in memory and will save time?
 
See the error code -3 Does it create a temp file and reload it?

I've been using it with good results with my web app. It doesn't write out temp files that I have been able to detect. It does create folders under C:\Windows\Temp but if temp files get written there, I don't know.

It could be just poor documentation.

Roland is correct.

The best performance is to make sure that you use an SSD where your TEMP folder is located.

The question is, does it write temp files to those folders? If it does, is it a PDF file, work files, or both?

Hi, Yakov -

Given the description of that method in PB Help, I'd say your assertion that it is a developer shortcut is correct:

Best regards, John
